A ball is hanging from a cord of negligible weight. A secondary ball with the same weight as the first ball is measured 3m above the hanging ball, and just touching the cord, is released from rest and gains its velocity before striking the hanging ball. If the effect of friction is negligible, and the impact is perfectly elastic, compute the... a) the magnitude of the velocity of the secondary ball in terms of its velocity before contact; b) the direction of the velocity of the secondary ball in terms of its velocity before contact

According to legend, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls of different mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in 1589. Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2). Theory Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…
A wooden ball of weight 196 newtons is dropped vertically from a height of 100 meters above the ground. Throughout the fall, drag is present by a factor 4v due to air resistance, where v is the velocity of the ball at time t (in seconds). After how many seconds will the ball impact the ground? Assume that the net force acting on the ball is modeled by m(dv/dt) = mg – kv, where m is the mass of the ball. Also, assume that there is no initial velocity and that the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8 meters per second squared. Do not round off intermediate steps. Round off the final answer to two decimal places.
